Tony Hawk YouTube compo News

PC PlayStation 2 Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 Wii
News by Tom Bramwell

7 November, 2007

Activision has worked out how to sign up for YouTube and is giving away GBP 1000 to people who create the best skater videos to mark the release of Tony Hawk's Proving Ground. The tagline is: "Every skater has a story. Create yours."

Tony Hawk's already done one but he probably can't win so that's all right. He says that the reason he loves skateboarding is that there's always something new to do. He also says don't use swearwords or licensed music and don't use SKATE to make your video. Cads.

At the time of writing, Tony's only competition for the money he can't win breaks the second rule (assuming it's not actually by Dave Grohl, anyway), but does feature some amazing stunts riding up walls and doing other wacky stuff.

So, get videoing, and check in with our Tony Hawk's Proving Ground gamepage for all lots of other examples.

The biggest possible achievement in terms of "best skater video" made in THPG would probably be one that actually looks like real skating. I just don't think it's doable.

Funny how people can quickly turn against things for no reason. I remember when THPS was popular..

For "no reason"? Milking a once-promising franchise to death in a sloppy and cynical way - combined with the emergence of a really good competitor who shows how it can be done properly - results in rightful damnation here.

The intro sequence of the THPG demo alone shows you how far removed from a true skateboarding audience this series has become. As a skater, I found its mixture of pretentious pseudo-coolness and mindless Jackass attitude simply embarrasing.

THPS was never about serious skating, and they tried some experimental stuff that didn't work, and humbly admitted that and made an improvement. I applaud them for it, they've made an effort.
